Chapter 476 Hummels?purchase!

Mourinho sat in the office of club chairman Ed Woodward.

Woodward is holding a board meeting in a conference room on the third floor.Manchester United owner Glazer Jr. also rushed over from the United States to attend the meeting.

The topic of this meeting is Manchester United's transfer fee budget for the new season.

Mourinho is quite confident that the board of directors will give him enough budget to buy an impregnable back line.

You know, Manchester United's stock price on the New York Stock Exchange has risen from $18.25 at the beginning of the season to $34 now!The increase is nearly doubled!

There are three reasons why Manchester United's stock price has skyrocketed.One is that Manchester United swept away the downturn in previous seasons this season and won the Triple Crown and the Champions League runner-up.

The second is because of the joining of the old lieutenant Liu Yun, Manchester United has completely opened up the Huaguo market.Originally, Huaguo's fan market was divided up by more than a dozen European giants such as Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Real Madrid, etc. Now, 90.00% of the big cake in Huaguo market belongs to Manchester United!With the old lieutenant around, no club in Huaguo can share this sweet cake with Manchester United!

Three, the Glazer family is a famous Jewish financial chaebol family in the United States.Manchester United owner Glazer Jr. knows how to do business from the womb.Little Glazer used some means to secretly manipulate and raise the stock price by taking advantage of Manchester United's triple crown and the joining of the old lieutenant.

This board meeting lasted for 3 hours.Mourinho simply took a nap in Chairman Woodward's office.

Dimly, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

He opened his eyes.Woodward had already sat behind his desk.

"Jose, didn't sleep well last night?" Woodward asked Mourinho.

Mourinho nodded: "I read the information on the central defenders and full-backs all night. I thought about it. The few South American defenders I inspected last time seem to be lacking in strength."

With a cigar in his mouth, Woodward said proudly: "Insufficient strength? Then go to the rich and dig some world-class defenders!"

Mourinho's eyes brightened: "How much budget has the board of directors approved for the transfer period?"

Woodward held up five fingers.

"[-] million pounds?!" Mourinho couldn't believe his eyes!

Woodward nodded: "Yes, [-] million pounds! Is it enough for you to build the entire Premier League, no, the strongest defense in Europe?"

The transfer fee budget of 2 million pounds gave Mourinho a burst of energy, sweeping away the fatigue of reading materials all night.You know, the transfer fee approved by Manchester United last year was only [-] million pounds.Now the budget has doubled!

Mourinho said to Woodward: "Enough! Absolutely enough! What I have to do now is to discuss with the scouts who to dig!"

Woodward took a deep breath on his cigar, and leisurely exhaled a smoke ring: "Although you and I have a verbal agreement before. I will not interfere with your employment and purchase. But, here I will give you a suggestion. Recently " "Kicker" broke the news that the relationship between Hummels and Bayern coach Sanillo is very tense...you know."

Hummels is the former Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti highly valued people.His relationship with Ancelotti is very good.In the Bayern locker room, teammates even joked that Hummels is Ancelotti's follower.

At the beginning of this season, Ancelotti dismissed get out of class and the little-known assistant coach Sagnol took over.Everyone originally thought that Sagnol was just a transitional coach.Bayern will invite another world famous coach to coach.I never thought that Bayern's performance has been rising all the way under the leadership of Sagnol.In the end, he successfully defended the Bundesliga title and won the Bundesliga and German Cup double crowns.Sagnol's handsome position is as stable as the Alps!

Hummels originally looked down on Sagnol, who was not as famous as Anshuai.In the latter part of the season, he repeatedly refused to listen to Sagnol's command and was directly put on the bench by Sagnol.Last week, "Kicker" magazine even broke the news that Hummels and Sagnol had a verbal conflict in a team meeting.Sagnol even threatened: If Hummels doesn't change his attitude, let him sit on the bench!

Mourinho said to Woodward: "If a year ago, Hummels must be not for sale at Bayern. Now, Hummels' transfer has changed from impossible to possible. But Hummels is One of the best centre-backs on the planet. We're not the only clubs watching him!"

What Mourinho said was true.If you want to make a list of the top three most powerful central defenders in the world, Hummels must be on the list!With a height of 192 meters, he is physically strong and has the standard figure of a European central defender.This allows him to always occupy a place in the penalty area where the confrontation is fierce.In addition, his defensive positioning awareness, frontal defensive ability, and long passing are all top-notch among central defenders.In addition, Hummels still has the blood of offense flowing in his body. His good foot skills and offensive awareness allow him to use the market as a breakthrough to give the opponent a sudden attack!

What European club doesn't want such a world-class central defender?

Woodward snuffed out the cigar in the ashtray: "During the transfer period, the struggle between clubs is inevitable! What we have to do is to try to buy the best players! The transfer fee of 5 million pounds is to do this Useful! Manchester United's stock price has been rising on the New York Stock Exchange. Our boss, Little Glazer, has made a lot of money. At the board meeting just now, he, who has always been stingy about the transfer fee budget, took the initiative to say that 5 million If the pound is not enough, you can add more! Manchester United’s transfer fee budget this year should be on par with Real Madrid and Barcelona! Jose, you now have the opportunity to build a galaxy warship! Cherish this opportunity!”

A rare smile appeared on Mourinho's stern face: "No problem! With the full support of the club, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

Woodward asked again: "By the way, last time you said that you would clean up a group of guards?"

Mourinho nodded: "Lindelof, Smalling, and Phil Jones can all be sold during the transfer period. I have to admit that last season I advocated the purchase of Lindelof for 3500 million euros. It was a mistake. Valencia I was originally on the purge list. But considering that he has played for Manchester United for 10 seasons, has a conscientious attitude on the field, and has served as the captain of Manchester United for a long time. He is the second spiritual leader in the team besides the old lieutenant. I cancel The idea. Valencia can stay in the team this season as a backup full-back."

Woodward nodded: "Well, Jose, go ahead and do what you want! The club fully supports you!"

Mourinho walked out of Woodward's office contentedly. The transfer budget of 5 million pounds was handed over again, and the boss Jr. Glazer was uncharacteristically generous and said that the budget could be added.What Woodward said is true, Mourinho does have the opportunity to build a galaxy battleship now!
